Got Something to Say?

Ready for cleaning!

The scraping waterproofing and painting has begun!

So....I have my closet space/booth set up and it actually is working pretty good! I think it will be just the ticket until my "upgraded" booth is built. However,  todays schedule of recording several auditions in addition to a chapter or two of the audio book Ive been hired to read, is on hold.  The wind is so strong outside that I can hear it and the warning sirens AND the emergency sirens going off at various times.  I am holding out that it will let up at some point so I can get a little accomplished today, but Mother Nature is boss. So, I will read more of my script, and practice sans recording.

Okay, so I finally cleared a "space" in the closet and recorded some stuff.  We will see if it is usable.  I was really frustrated earlier today as I had recorded an audition in my old space and tried to edit it.  Needless to say all the editing in the world couldn't fix it.  So...to the closet I went.  Lets see what happens from here.....

The holidays are over and after considerable time away from the mic, I am anxious to get back at it.  It was good to have some time without deadlines and schedules!  But, I am getting antsy to start being creative and productive.  I recorded an audio book audition so that is my first item on the to do list.  I also have to up load my test take to Librovox and then record a chapter for a book there. And, lets not forget the whole building a booth project, which has its own to do list...... And GO! --

2012 was slow starting out, but once the momentum picked up, it seemed to be non stop greatness.  I met new friends, formed new creative networks and got to work and grow as an artist.  I  am convinced that 2013 will be even better!  I already have creative collaborations planned with Tyson Douglas Rand and another with Victoria Stanbridge! I am participating in the NEOMFA Playwrights Festival and hope to work and design at Con Con again as well as network elsewhere!  Big things in 2013!

One of the most difficult things for me as a voice over actor is trying to find a quite spot to record.  Right now I have a temporary "box" set up in the basement. A simple wood frame box covered with blankets and foam.   It has worked up to this point, but it is not really suitable for the long haul.  In order to produce higher quality material, I need higher quality tools. I am in the process of doing two projects right now.  The first is building an isolation booth in the basement.  However in the meantime I have to have a space to record until that project is finished.  And like most home building projects when you start one project it usually unveils yet another project that is going to take priority.  In order for me to complete my booth, I need to clean and prep the basement walls for sealant and paint.  Whew. Sometimes I think it would be easier just to rent a space and convert it.  Did I mention that my house is very small!  B...
